Well, if you're the Yanks, you might recognize that 'roiders don't seem to stop even after they've been caught/come clean. So it might not be just 50 games. And, as I said, Bud wants to increase the penalties.

While the players don't get paid during their suspensions, teams trying to win aren't as worried about not paying a player as they are about winning games.

Posted by jonas1102 on 3/5/2013 9:54:00 AM (view original):The guy who was a month out in front of Melky's failed PED test, just said that Braun and the three Yankees are facing 50 game suspensions. He's not really a baseball reporter, and says so. But he says he has a source. Maybe they're looking for website views, or he's picking 5th in his upcoming baseball draft and wants Braun or Cano. He was right about Melky, though. We'll see.

selig is a dumbass. if he tries to suspend these guys the pa will appeal and win. the players didn't fail any drug tests. that's what the drug policy specifically says a player has to do in order to be subject to punishment. any court will rule in favor of the players, no contest

A player who tests positive for a Performance Enhancing Substance, or otherwise violates the Program through the use or possession of a Performance Enhancing Substance, will be subject to the discipline set forth below.

Obviously this will never sink in for you, but occasionally it's worth fact-checking yourself before you post...
